Governor Issues Mandates for COVID-19 Mitigations

You may have heard that Governor Pritzker issued some COVID-19 related mandates this week.
One mandate begins Monday, August 30 requiring everyone age 2 and older to wear a mask indoors across the state. Our school has been complying with the mask mandate for schools issued earlier in the month.

The other mandate is requiring vaccinations for all school employees, with the first dose being required by September 5. This vaccination mandate is for school employees only and not for students. 
 
If you would like more information regarding the vaccination please visit the DuPage County Health Department's website at https://www.dupagehealth.org/696/COVID-19-Vaccine.
